Dusa Jesih, Four corners, from a cycle "Mantra", acrylic on MDF, 100x150 cm, 2021-22 Dusa Jesih's "Four Corners": A Tribute to the Strength of Women and Vulnerability of Woman Dusa Jesih's "Four Corners" is a powerful and moving polyptych painting that is part of her "Mantra" series. The painting depicts four black and white blocks, each representing a corner of a house. The blocks are arranged in a way that suggests stability and strength, but from another perspective, they could also be seen as teetering on the brink of collapse. This duality reflects the complex and multifaceted nature of women's lives. The title of the painting is a reference to a Slovenian saying that a woman holds three corners of a house, while the fourth stands on men's shoulders. This saying is a testament to the strength and resilience of women. However, it also suggests that women's strength is often contingent on the support of men. Jesih's painting is a celebration of the strength of women, but it also acknowledges their vulnerability. The black and white blocks are a stark contrast to the colorful backgrounds in many of her other paintings. This suggests that Jesih is not interested in creating a picture-perfect image of women, but rather in portraying them as they are: strong, complex, capable, and also vulnerable. The painting's composition is also significant. The four blocks are arranged in a way that creates a sense of balance and harmony. However, this balance is also precarious, and the blocks could easily be knocked over. This suggests that Jesih believes that women are an essential part of society, but that they also face many challenges. "Four Corners" is a powerful and important work of art that speaks to the challenges and triumphs of women. It is a reminder that women are strong, resilient, capable, and vulnerable. They deserve our respect and admiration, and we should also work to create a world where they are supported and empowered.

Slovenia
The presentation of a painter, whose works hold a critical view of the social, cultural and political spheres of our existence, but in a little less conventional (fashionable) way for the present times. The goal of my art is to provide a critical overview of our social, cultural and political spheres in a slightly unconventional (trendy) manner. I am more interested in self-reflection on the phenomenon of alienation I am witnessing as it goes (contradictorily) hand in hand with globalisation rather than focused on any political engagement. I feel like sheer existence is draining our last bits of energy in these crazy times. We are straining ourselves with precarious work, fighting for our dear life and in the process forgetting about ourselves and our interpersonal relations. To live in unity and harmony, peace and love now seems an outdated and illusionary hippie idea that is so far from reality. I am trying to face this experience and internalise through the leitmotif of my last cycle of paintings called Unity. Using "as little words as possible" in minimalist "gestalt" language that allows for some artistic expression and space for the world of each individual, I am trying to transform unity into a hybrid of a warning (traffic) sign and icon "logo(therapeutic) type". Although I follow the principle of "spot, line, surface in space" and focus on the basic elements of fine art, I tend to use colour, shape and composition to explore tensions in relationships between colours on the canvas as well as optical effects of more or less discernible forms. My goal is to bring to the fore the foundations of meanings, emotions or narratives. My paintings feature similar visual signs that form new conceptual units in space, i.e. Gesamtkunstwerk, that open up new perspectives and encourage dialogue. My view of the final part revolves around a (harmonious) attitude towards space, possibly a very clear and brutal concrete area in all the seriousness of "beauty in silence". Dusa Jesih, "Unity" / Between the Lines, 2015 DUSA JESIH, short bio Dusa Jesih was born on 16 January 1977 in Ljubljana. In 1996, she completed the Secondary School for Design and Photography in Ljubljana, specialising in graphic design. She obtained her BA in painting at the College of Visual arts in Ljubljana where she also completed her specialisation in painting three years later. In the period 2006–2007, Jesih attended specialisation courses at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris.
